Falling from height is an urban phenomenon and shows an important form of blunt trauma. We report an 18-year-old man who fell from 6 m height onto vertical steel rods in an under construction building. He went under surgery to remove two foreign bodies and was discharged on the 2nd day after surgery in good conditions. The objective of this report is to provide a definitive baseline to improve ...

Vegetation provides important functions and services in urban areas, and vegetation heights divided into vertical and horizontal units can be used as indicators for its assessment. Conversely, detailed area-wide and updated height information is frequently missing for most urban areas. This study sought to assess three vegetation height classes from a globally available TanDEM-X digital elevati...

Field data describing the height growth of trees or stands over several decades are very scarce. Consequently, our capacity of analyzing forest dynamics over large areas and long periods of time is somewhat limited. This study proposes a new method for retrospectively reconstructing plotwise average dominant tree height based on a time series of high-resolution canopy height maps, termed canopy...

Measurement of 7Be depositional fluxes at Granada, Spain (37 degrees 10'50''N-3 degrees 35'44''W, altitude 670 m) in the period 1995 through 1998 indicates substantial variations between the four seasons and also between corresponding seasons in different years, ranging from 23.6 to 242 Bq m(-2) per season. A strongly positive correlation with precipitation is shown, which explains about 70% of...

High-density airborne laser scanner data has been previously shown to provide great opportunities for individual tree detection and measurement of variables characterizing the detected trees. This paper evaluates the effect of laser flight altitude on the tree height estimation at individual tree level in the boreal forest area mainly consisting of Norway spruce, Scots pine and birch. The test ...

large GCH1 mutation positive family with dopa responsive dystonia: confusing the picture? J Neurol Neurosurg Psychiatry 2002; 72: 801–4. Grünewald A, Kasten M, Ziegler A, Klein C. Next-generation phenotyping using the parkin example: time to catch up with genetics. JAMA Neurol 2013; 70: 1186–91. Klepitskaya O, Neuwelt AJ, Nguyen T, Leehey M. Primary dystonia misinterpreted as Parkinson disease:...

Escherichia coli 469-3 synthesizes fibrillar fimbriae at 37 degrees C, but not at 18 degrees C, which promote its adherence to human colonocytes. RNA homologous with a cloned fragment of the strain 469-3 chromosome necessary for normal expression of fimbriae was virtually undetectable in bacteria grown at 18 degrees C, indicating that environmental temperature affects expression by regulating t...
